Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a cosmetic container. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, as shown in, for example, Patent Document 1 below, cosmetic containers have been known in which the surface of a cosmetic material filled in the container is covered with an elastic net and the cosmetic material is wiped off from the elastic net with a cosmetic puff for application. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Publication No. 8-11 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, in such cosmetic containers, the stretch net is stretched over the underside of the frame, and the joining area between the stretch net and the frame is small, which causes the stretch net to easily peel off from the frame.

[0005] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and has an object to provide a cosmetic container that can prevent a mesh body from peeling off from a frame body. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] (1) The cosmetic container of the present invention comprises a bottomed cylindrical container body in which the contents are contained, a cylindrical frame body that is fitted and fixed within the container body, and an elastic mesh body that is fixed to the frame body, covers the inside of the frame body, and defines a storage space for the contents between itself and the bottom of the container body, wherein a bent portion is provided inside the outer peripheral edge of the mesh body, and at least a portion of the bent portion and at least a portion of the outer peripheral edge of the mesh body are embedded in the frame body.

[0007] According to the cosmetic container of the present invention, the outer peripheral edge of the mesh body and at least a part of the bent portion on the inside are embedded in the frame body, so that a large joint area between the mesh body and the frame body can be secured. Specifically, the outer peripheral edge of the mesh body forms a joint surface with the frame body (first joint portion), and the bent portion of the mesh body forms a joint surface with the frame body (second joint portion). Therefore, the mesh body and the frame body are joined by at least two joining surfaces (joints) and a large joining area can be ensured, so that the joining strength is increased and peeling of the mesh body from the frame body can be suppressed.

[0008] (2) At least a portion of the bent portion and at least a portion of the outer peripheral edge of the mesh body may be embedded radially inwardly of an outer wall surface of the frame body.

[0009] In this case, when the mesh body is cut in advance to a size that fits the mold for the frame body and set in the mold, and then inserted into the frame body by injection molding, the mesh body can be bent to form a bent portion by utilizing the flow pressure of the resin during molding, so that the outer peripheral edge of the mesh body and at least a part of the bent portion on its inner side are embedded radially inward from the outer wall surface of the frame body.

[0010] (3) At least a portion of the bent portion and at least a portion of the outer peripheral edge of the mesh body may be embedded in an inner wall surface located above a lower end of the frame body.

[0011] In this case, the bent portion of the mesh body further forms a joint surface (third joint) with the frame body, so that the joint strength between the mesh body and the frame body can be further increased.

[0012] (4) The outer peripheral edge of the mesh body may face either side in the direction of the central axis of the frame body.

[0013] In this case, the mesh body can be aligned from the bent portion to the outer peripheral edge thereof along the central axis direction of the frame body, thereby making it possible to increase the joining area between the mesh body and the frame body compared to joining the mesh body only to the lower end of the frame body. Effect of the Invention

[0014] According to the cosmetic container of the present invention, peeling of the mesh body from the frame body can be suppressed. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0016] Hereinafter, cosmetic containers according to various embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0017] (First embodiment) As shown in Fig. 1, the cosmetic container 1 of the first embodiment includes a container body 10, a lid body 20, a frame body 30, and a mesh body 40. The container body 10 is formed in a bottomed tubular shape, and the lid body 20 is formed in a topped tubular shape. The frame body 30 is formed in a cylindrical shape, and the mesh body 40 is formed in a substantially disc shape.

[0018] The container body 10, the lid body 20, the frame body 30, and the mesh body 40 are arranged with the central axis O of the container body 10 as a common axis. Hereinafter, the direction along the central axis O will be referred to as the central axis direction. Also, the direction intersecting the central axis O when viewed from the central axis direction will be referred to as the radial direction. Also, the direction going around the central axis O will be referred to as the circumferential direction. In the central axial direction, the side of the lid body 20 with respect to the container body 10 will be referred to as the upper side, and the side of the container bottom wall 11 of the container body 10 will be referred to as the lower side.

[0019] The container body 10 is formed, for example, from a synthetic resin material or the like into a flat, bottomed cylinder. The container body 10 includes a container bottom wall 11 and a container peripheral wall 12. The container bottom wall 11 is formed into a substantially circular plate shape centered on a central axis O. The container peripheral wall 12 is formed into a substantially cylindrical shape extending upward from the outer periphery of the container bottom wall 11. A threaded portion 13 is formed on the outer periphery of the upper end of the container peripheral wall 12.

[0020] The lid body 20 is formed in a flat, topped cylinder shape, for example, from a synthetic resin material. The lid body 20 includes a lid peripheral wall 21 and a lid top wall 22. The lid peripheral wall 21 is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape centered on the central axis O. A thread groove capable of being screwed into the screw portion 13 is formed on the inner peripheral surface side of the lid peripheral wall 21. The lid top wall 22 is formed in a substantially disk shape that closes the upper opening of the lid peripheral wall 21. The lid body 20 may be connected to the container body 10 via a hinge or the like. In other words, the cosmetic container 1 may be a jar container as in this embodiment, a compact container in which the container body 10 and the lid body 20 are connected by a hinge, or the like, and the form is not limited.

[0021] The frame 30 is formed into a cylindrical shape from, for example, a synthetic resin material. The frame 30 is fitted and fixed inside the container 10. A flange 35 is formed on the upper end 31 of the frame 30 and is disposed on the upper end opening edge of the container 10. The flange 35 is formed into a substantially annular shape extending from the upper end 31 of the frame 30 toward the outside in the radial direction.

[0022] A fitting portion 36 is formed on the outer wall surface 34 of the frame body 30 below the flange 35. The fitting portion 36 is formed in the shape of a plurality of ribs that protrude radially outward from the outer wall surface 34 of the frame body 30 and fit into the inner peripheral surface of the container peripheral wall 12. This allows the frame body 30 to be fitted and fixed in the container body 10. Note that the lower end 32 of the frame body 30 does not reach the container bottom wall 11 and is suspended in the air within the container body 10.

[0023] The mesh body 40 is formed in a disk-like mesh shape from, for example, a synthetic resin material. The mesh body 40 may be made of a material other than a synthetic resin material (for example, natural fiber, metal fiber) or a knitted fabric thereof. The mesh body 40 covers the inside of the frame body 30 and defines a first storage space S1 (storage space) for the contents between the mesh body 40 and the bottom of the container body 10. The first storage space S1 stores, for example, a cosmetic material such as loose powder. The first storage space S1 may store the cosmetic material directly, or an inner tray in which the cosmetic material is stored may be placed.

[0024] The mesh body 40 may have a stretchability that allows it to reach the bottom of the container body 10 (the upper surface of the container bottom wall 11) so that the contents of the first storage space S1 can be wiped off to the last detail. This mesh body 40 defines a second storage space S2 between the lower surface of the lid top wall 22 of the lid body 20 and the inner wall surface 33 of the frame body 30. The second storage space S2 is capable of housing an applicator 2 such as a puff. The applicator 2 is housed in a compressed state in the second storage space S2.

[0025] 2, a bent portion 42 is provided on the inside of an outer peripheral edge 41 of the mesh body 40. At least a part of the bent portion 42 and at least a part of the outer peripheral edge 41 of the mesh body 40 are embedded in and fused to the frame body 30. The joining of the bent portion 42 and the outer peripheral edge 41 to the frame body 30 is not limited to the above-mentioned fusion, and may be by adhesion or the like.

[0026] Here, the outer peripheral edge 41 of the mesh body 40 refers to the part that forms the outermost periphery of the mesh body 40, and can also be referred to as the outermost peripheral end face of the mesh body 40. Note that since the outermost periphery of the mesh body 40 is made of a fibrous material, it may not form a smooth surface.

[0027] The bent portion 42 is a portion bent upward in the central axis direction at the outer peripheral edge of the mesh body 40. The bent portion 42 is bent at a right angle to the center (main body) of the mesh body 40, but is not limited to a right angle. At least a portion (all in the example of FIG. 2) of the bent portion 42 is embedded in the inner wall surface 33 of the frame body 30 in the thickness direction (i.e., radial direction). That is, the inner surface of the bent portion 42 and the inner wall surface 33 of the frame body 30 are flush with each other. At least a portion (all in the example of FIG. 2) of the outer peripheral edge 41 of the mesh body 40 is embedded in the inner wall surface 33 of the frame body 30 in the thickness direction (i.e., radial direction) of the bent portion 42.

[0028] At least a part of the bent portion 42 and at least a part of the outer peripheral edge 41 of the mesh body 40 are embedded in the inner wall surface 33 located above the lower end 32 of the frame body 30. This improves the bonding strength of the bonding portion 50 between the mesh body 40 and the frame body 30. Specifically, the bonding portion 50 includes a first bonding portion 51 between the outer peripheral edge 41 of the mesh body 40 and the frame body 30, a second bonding portion 52 between the side surface facing radially outward of the bent portion 42 of the mesh body 40 and the frame body 30, and a third bonding portion 53 between the lower surface of the bent portion 42 of the mesh body 40 and the frame body 30.

[0029] The mesh body 40 having the above-mentioned structure is joined to the frame body 30, for example, in the following manner. First, the mesh body 40 is cut in advance to a size that fits the mold for the frame body 30. This results in less loss of mesh body 40 than when a roll-shaped mesh body 40 is molded while being punched in a molding machine.

[0030] Next, the mesh body 40 is set in a mold, and the mesh body 40 is inserted into the frame body 30 by injection molding. The mold may have a structure that allows it to be divided into at least two parts, one for the first housing space S1 side and the other for the second housing space S2 side. Here, the mesh body 40 is set in the mold by sucking and transporting the mesh body 40 with a take-out machine (not shown) so that the mesh body 40 is also sucked and held in the mold.

[0031] Next, molding resin is injected into the mold, and the mesh body 40 is insert-molded into the frame body 30. At this time, for example, when the resin is injected in the direction indicated by the symbol F1 in Fig. 2, the flow pressure of the resin during molding can be used to bend the mesh body 40 to form the bent portion 42. As a result, the mesh body 40 deforms so as to stick to the mold on the second accommodation space S2 side, and at least a part of the outer peripheral edge 41 of the mesh body 40 and the bent portion 42 on the inside thereof is embedded radially inward from the outer wall surface 34 of the frame body 30. In this manner, the joint structure shown in FIG. 2 can be formed.

[0032] According to the cosmetic container 1 having the above-mentioned configuration, since at least a part of the outer peripheral edge 41 of the mesh body 40 and the bent portion 42 on the inside thereof are embedded in the frame body 30, a large joint area between the mesh body 40 and the frame body 30 can be secured. Specifically, the outer peripheral edge 41 of the mesh body 40 forms a joint surface with the frame body 30 (first joint portion 51), and the bent portion 42 of the mesh body 40 forms a joint surface with the frame body 30 (second joint portion 52). Furthermore, the bent portion 42 and the outer peripheral edge 41 of the mesh body 40 are embedded in the inner wall surface 33 located above the lower end 32 of the frame body 30, thereby forming a joint surface with the frame body 30 (third joint portion 53). In this manner, in this embodiment, the mesh body 40 and the frame body 30 are joined by at least three joints, and a large joining area can be secured, thereby increasing the joining strength and making it possible to suppress peeling of the mesh body 40 from the frame body 30.

[0033] As described above, the cosmetic container 1 according to this embodiment includes a bottomed cylindrical container body 10 in which the contents are stored, a cylindrical frame body 30 that is fitted and fixed in the container body 10, and a stretchable mesh body 40 that is fixed to the frame body 30, covers the inside of the frame body 30, and defines a first storage space S1 for the contents between the frame body 30 and the bottom of the container body 10, and a bent portion 42 is provided inside an outer peripheral edge 41 of the mesh body 40, and at least a part of the bent portion 42 and at least a part of the outer peripheral edge 41 of the mesh body 40 are embedded in the frame body 30. With this configuration, peeling of the mesh body 40 from the frame body 30 can be suppressed.

[0034] In this embodiment, at least a part of the bent portion 42 and at least a part of the outer peripheral edge 41 of the mesh body 40 are embedded radially inward from the outer wall surface 34 of the frame body 30. With this configuration, when the mesh body 40 is cut in advance to a size that fits the mold of the frame body 30, set in the mold, and inserted into the frame body 30 by injection molding, the mesh body 40 can be bent to form the bent portion 42 by utilizing the flow pressure of the resin during molding. As a result, at least a part of the outer peripheral edge 41 of the mesh body 40 and the bent portion 42 on the inside thereof are embedded radially inward from the outer wall surface 34 of the frame body 30.

[0035] In this embodiment, at least a part of the bent portion 42 and at least a part of the outer peripheral edge 41 of the mesh body 40 are embedded in the inner wall surface 33 located above the lower end 32 of the frame body 30. According to this configuration, the bent portion 42 of the mesh body 40 further forms a joint surface (third joint portion 53) with the frame body 30, so that the joint strength between the mesh body 40 and the frame body 30 can be further increased.

[0036] In this embodiment, the outer peripheral edge 41 of the mesh body 40 faces either side (upper side in this embodiment) in the central axial direction of the frame body 30. With this configuration, the mesh body 40 can be aligned from the bent portion 42 to the outer peripheral edge 41 in the central axial direction of the frame body 30, so that the joining area between the mesh body 40 and the frame body 30 can be made larger than if the mesh body 40 were joined only to the lower end 32 of the frame body 30.

[0037] Second embodiment Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the following description, the same or equivalent configurations as those in the above-described embodiment are given the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be simplified or omitted.

[0038] 3, an annular protrusion 37 extending radially inward is formed on the lower end 32 of the frame body 30 of the second embodiment. The mesh body 40 is joined to the upper surface of the annular protrusion 37. With this configuration, the third joint portion 53 can be an extended joint portion 53A that extends to the upper surface of the annular protrusion 37. This can further increase the joint strength between the mesh body 40 and the frame body 30.

[0039] Third embodiment Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the following description, the same or equivalent configurations as those in the above-described embodiment are given the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be simplified or omitted.

[0040] As shown in Fig. 4, the mesh body 40 of the third embodiment includes a plurality of bent portions 42, and the outer peripheral end portion is stepped (step-like). The mesh body 40 includes a first bent portion 42A, a second bent portion 42B, and a third bent portion 42C on the inside of the outer peripheral edge 41. The first bent portion 42A is bent upward in the central axis direction, and the outer peripheral edge 41 is formed at its tip. The second bent portion 42B is bent radially outward, and the first bent portion 42A is formed at its tip. The third bent portion 42C is bent upward in the central axis direction from the main body of the mesh body 40, and the second bent portion 42B is formed at its tip.

[0041] The outer peripheral edge 41 of the mesh body 40 is embedded in the inner wall surface 33 of the frame body 30 to form a first joint 51. The first bent portion 42A is embedded in the inner wall surface 33 of the frame body 30 to form a second joint 52 and a third joint 53. The lower surface of the second bent portion 42B is joined to the upper surface of the annular protrusion 37 to form an extended joint 53A. In addition, the side surface facing radially outward of the third bent portion 42C is joined to the surface facing radially inward of the annular protrusion 37 to form a fourth joint 54.

[0042] According to the third embodiment having the above-mentioned configuration, the mesh body 40 and the frame body 30 are joined by a plurality of bent portions 42 formed in a stepped shape, and a large joining area can be secured, thereby increasing the joining strength and making it possible to suppress peeling of the mesh body 40 from the frame body 30.

[0043] (Fourth embodiment) Next, a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the following description, the same or equivalent configurations as those in the above-described embodiment are given the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be simplified or omitted.

[0044] 5, the bent portion 42 in the fourth embodiment is bent along the outer wall surface 34 of the frame body 30. In this case, the outer peripheral edge 41 of the mesh body 40 is embedded in the outer wall surface 34 of the frame body 30 to form a first outer wall joint portion 51B. The bent portion 42 is embedded in the outer wall surface 34 and the lower end 32 of the frame body 30 to form a second outer wall joint portion 52B and a lower end joint portion 53B.

[0045] According to the fourth embodiment having the above configuration, the mesh body 40 and the frame body 30 are joined along the outer wall surface 34 of the frame body 30, and a large joining area can be ensured, thereby increasing the joining strength and making it possible to suppress peeling of the mesh body 40 from the frame body 30. Note that in the fourth embodiment, unlike the first to third embodiments, the mesh body 40 cannot be bent to form the bent portion 42 by utilizing the flow pressure of the resin during molding, and therefore it is necessary to bend the mesh body 40 in advance to form the bent portion 42 when setting it in the mold.

[0046] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be modified as appropriate without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

[0047] For example, in the above embodiment, the outer peripheral edge 41 of the mesh body 40 faces upward in the central axial direction of the frame body 30, but depending on the direction in which the resin flow pressure is applied, the outer peripheral edge 41 of the mesh body 40 may face downward in the central axial direction of the frame body 30. Furthermore, the outer peripheral edge 41 of the mesh body 40 may be embedded in the inner wall surface 33 of the frame body 30 so as to face radially outward rather than in the direction of the central axis of the frame body 30 .

[0048] In addition, within the scope of the invention, the components in the above-described embodiments may be replaced with well-known components, and the above-described modified examples may be combined as appropriate.
